People began experimenting with refrigeration systems for trailers in the late 1800s, but it wasn't until the 1940s that mechanical refrigeration became common. Inventors quickly realized that ice melted way too quickly to be a viable way to keep produce and other items cold during transport. The frozen food industry took off after World War II, when reefer trailers with mechanical refrigeration systems became the most common way to transport food from one place to another. These refrigeration units are generally run by a small diesel engine that is quiet and efficient.
The older refrigeration units used freon for cooling, but the use of freon was banned because of its affect on the environment. Newer trailers use a coolant called R-134a, which is much more environmentally friendly and still works well to efficiently cool the space inside the trailer.
Most refrigerated trailers measure between 48 and 55 feet in length, and several door configurations are available. Some have a roll-up door in the back, while others have two doors that swing out. Many reefer trailers also have a door on the side of the trailer for easier access to the cargo. It's great to have doors for access to various compartments, but it's also important to remember that more doors allow more opportunity for cold air to escape and warm air to enter the compartment. More openings mean that the refrigeration unit has to work harder to maintain a consistent temperature.
